we have been shown a van that is a cat c accident case. The seller says cat d is a total right off. Is it safe to buy cat c and after repair and new test, can the label cat c be removed so it becomes like any other van?
When a vehicle has been in an accident what do category c and d mean in the vehicle history supplied.?
Your seller is a bit confused. Cats A %26amp; B never go back on the road, Cat A is destroyed by crushing and Cat B bodyshells are destroyed by crushing, though parts may be salvaged and re-used.
Category C means the vehicle has been extensively damaged and insurer has decided not to repair. It may be repaired and put back on the road, subject to a Vehicle Identity Check, and is re-registered as damaged repaired.
With Cat D the vehicle has been damaged and the insurer has decided not to repair, usually due to the cost of repairs at full commercial rate. When fixed it can be re-registered as damaged repaired. It doesn't need a VIC.
In both latter cases, it will always be on the vehicle's record and cannot be removed.
Reply:cat c is recorded accident damage write off but can have a vic check once repaired and can go back on the road, history will always stay with it.
cat d is repairable accident damage
Cat a is crusher only
Cat B is for parts only
